Sparking the Torch

Oct 10, 2006 00:23

So it has started. It seems like all roads led me to it. Im starting to pursue my life goal. It started with a spark in Iraq to a burning torch desire that nudges me to move on even further. It burned so much the torch has been passed to on to my best friend. Im glad im not alone on this road. Ill make sure it'll be sucessful. This school Jan and I planning to build isn't like no other. In school down here i felt as if i was put on limitations on what i could do. I was never taught to be inspired and had to learn to find my own answers. It took two war deployments to realize my life ahead of me isn't just for myself. I was never really talented in any one subject, i guess im just that average guy. What I make up in that sense my enduring persistence to carry on. Death and ignorance of the masses stuck in a endless spiral of a society that doesnt teach progress mentally and spiritually. It seems everything is conspires to me through my goal. I remember watching Dead Poet's Society how a teacher who taught inspiration was shunned on for teaching his students their full potential. There is so many rules implanted on us when we know (well some) we are beyond that on a greater scale. I want to give kids who never had that chance to succeed and understand that the world isn't just about yourself and what others think of you. This isn't a project that will be done in one day. This is a staircase that takes years to accomplish. We're gonna finish it though. I haven't had time or desire to update my journal recently. I know i should but i've been fighting a change to become more productive and proactive in this project. That World of Warcraft shit got gay. All it did was promote virutal materialism. Im not trying to be better than anyone else. It just ain't in my heart.

Atsugi, Japan is about 50 days away. Holly can't go with me... She wasn't able to get her Philippine passport and her naturalization here with the U.S. So it looks like i'll be on my own in a strange world by myself for a good few months. Im planning to gear my studies towards political science and economics. It's becoming a huge interest in analyzing why things are they way they are. Hopefully i can get dual citizenship at the Philippine consulate. Both of my parents were Filipino nationals when i was born in San Diego.

Ill have to continue later. It's getting pretty late

life, love
